I just bought a house at auction in Chelsfield. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Having to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should choose a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. All auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Chelsfield. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Chelsfield solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Chelsfield 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will be aware exactly where to look for all the suitable documentation so you can purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Chelsfield is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Chelsfield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chelsfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chelsfield may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
